After 46 years of dedicated service, my dear colleague Mary Mushinsky has announced she will not seek re-election to the 85th District seat.

Rep. Mushinsky said that balancing legislative work, career, and family has become more challenging over time, and she will conclude her 24th term at the end of this session.

Throughout her tenure in the Connecticut General Assembly, Mary has chaired the Environment Committee, the Select Committee on Children, and the bipartisan Program Review and Investigations Committee, and she currently serves as Assistant Deputy Speaker Pro-Tempore. A nationally recognized environmental leader and longtime member of the National Conference of State Legislatures, she helped pass the nation’s first climate change laws, advanced mandatory recycling, anti-bullying policies, adolescent pregnancy prevention initiatives, and championed the earned income tax credit.

Her bipartisan job training report led to Platform to Employment, achieving a 94% placement rate.

From protecting our rivers to expanding the Quinnipiac River Linear Trail, Mary’s legacy is one of tireless advocacy, integrity, and results.

Our community and state are stronger because of her service.

Generation Power CT, formerly known as Operation Fuel, opened its fourth application cycle through March 10. Eligible Connecticut households can receive a one-time grant of up to $500 to help with electric, gas, or fuel expenses.

All GPCT energy programs are available to income-eligible households making up to 75% SMI gross household income. For the best chance of approval, and to make full use of this once-per-12-months grant, GPCT strongly encourages households to apply for assistance when they are most in need.
